Summary

  • Create GENAI_POLICY.md covering permitted AI tool uses, contributor responsibilities (understand every line, review output, disclose significant usage, honour DCO, meet quality bar), GitHub communication guidelines, and maintainer authority
  • Add references from CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/contributing/_index.md, PR template checklist, and AGENTS.md
  • Clarify the distinction between AGENTS.md (guidance to AI agents) and GENAI_POLICY.md (governing human use of AI tools)

Fixes #7388

Test plan

  • All internal links resolve correctly
  • Tone matches existing Cortex docs (concise, practical)
  • No code changes — documentation only

Do we need to add it to the PR template?
I think the CONTRIBUTINGMD.md file is sufficient.

Create GENAI_POLICY.md to set clear expectations for AI-assisted
contributions across cortexproject repos, covering permitted uses,
contributor responsibilities, disclosure requirements, and maintainer
authority.

Also add references from CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/contributing/_index.md,
the PR template checklist, and a "Related Policies" section in AGENTS.md
clarifying the distinction between guidance *to* AI agents and policy
governing *human use* of AI tools.

Fixes cortexproject#7388
